Lectures and Other Geological EventsLondon Branch organizes a series of lectures on a variety of geological themes. The guest lecturers are drawn from the ranks of professional and serious lay geologists. LECTURE VENUE AT THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMOur meetings are held in the Courtyard Rooms in the basement. We have to provide a list of names for the security points and will be required to show membership cards. IT IS ESSENTIAL that you make contact and register if you are at all interested in attending and to get confirmation of arrangements – you can always cancel. Note that the start time for talks is 7.00 pm. You cannot enter before 6.30pm and you will not be able to enter after 7.00pm. Enter by the Bronze Doors on Exhibition Road, at the end of the railings and before the public entrance to the Flett Theatre and Earth Galleries. You will be given a visitor's pass which you will be asked to sign for, and directions to the Courtyard Rooms (at the end of the alley-way, through the double doors, turn left and you will find the Courtyard Rooms just round the corner, marked 'Waterhouse Building East' on the map). Remember also to hand your pass back before you leave. We will all try and leave together via the back car park. The nearest tube station is South Kensington.
